We all look to these games as having a profound impact on our lives in some way, but I was just wondering if people had ways in which Shenmue changed their life in everyday ways?

Everytime I need to refer to something that was a big event, I refer to it as "The day of the incident." I do it without even thinking, anymore. Back when I used to play Shenmue all the time, I'd constantly be saying things like "I see" or "Is that so?" but these have become lessened as time has gone on.
